Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a “killer app,” that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it.

These Headphones With Bose Sound and 100 Hours of Battery Won’t Destroy Your Wallet

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-05 03:31:03

I’m a fan of Bose audio. In recent memory, I’ve tried Bose’s SoundLink Plus, a portable Bluetooth speaker with big sound and a great (grassy) look; the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with their ridiculously good ANC; and its Ultra Open Earbuds, probably the best pair of open earbuds I’ve used to date. That being said, there’s one thing that I don’t love about Bose products, and that’s the premium pricing. Nearly $300 for a Bluetooth speaker is a lot, and so is $300 for a pair of wireless

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen): Excellent Buds

wired.com Parker Hall 2025-11-06 17:01:00

When it comes to cutting out annoying outside noise, there is no brand in history that has denatured more decibels than Bose. The pioneers of noise-canceling haven’t been without challengers in recent years, including Sony, Apple, and others, but Bose has maintained the crown for generation after generation. Perhaps no product showcases this iterative talent more than its latest earbuds, the QuietComfort Ultra 2. There wasn’t anything wrong with the first pair. I liked their ergonomic fit, exce

Nazi-Looted Painting Found on Real Estate Website Finally Seized by Authorities

After 80 years of being lost, Giuseppe Ghislandi’s Portrait of a Lady has finally been recovered. After it briefly appeared in an online real estate listing last month, the family that was in possession of the painting turned it in to the Argentinian authorities. The painting, a portrait of Contessa Colleoni, was one of more than 1,000 that were looted by Nazis from the collection of Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker during World War II, and was last seen in 1940, according to the Lost Art
